PrivateEye 3.20 has StrongHelp

by David Thomas on

PrivateEye 3.20 is now available. PrivateEye is a viewer for Sprites, DrawFiles, JPEGs, ArtWorks, GIFs and PNGs. It also has editing features including bitmap effects and rotation. It runs on RISC OS.

Here’s a screenshot of it running in RISC OS 4 via RPCEmu:

Version 3.20 has had quite a few changes. The main thrust of the work has been to reduce the reliance on the Tinct module, that’s used to render alpha channel sprites, and to replace the PDF format user guide with a StrongHelp one. I’ll break the changes down into sections:

PrivateEye is freeware.
